Formula One Title-challenging Lando can't wait to thrill the fans at Silverstone
Bristol Post
|July 01, 2025
LANDO Norris said he wants the British Grand Prix to come now after reigniting his world championship charge with a brilliant win over rival Oscar Piastri in Austria.
Bristol-born Norris will head to his home race at Silverstone this weekend a driver reborn after he came out on top of his thrilling wheel-to-wheel duel with McLaren team-mate Piastri in the Styrian mountains.
After claiming the third win of his stop-start campaign, the Englishman has reduced the title deficit to Piastri to 15 points from 22.
Max Verstappen is now 61 points off the title pace after he was taken out on the opening lap by Mercedes’ teenager Kimi Antonelli.
A crowd touching 150,000 is expected at Silverstone this weekend, while Norris will also have a dedicated area for his fans, the Landostand, at Stowe corner.
But Norris said: "For me, it is not more pressure. Of course, it is the place I want to win more than anywhere else. It puts a smile on my face when I wake up there every day, and it distracts me in a good way.
